  • Measurement system and method for operating a measurement system
    Patent number: 11959865
    Abstract: A method for operating a measurement system (100) comprises: generating a beam of electromagnetic radiation (25) directed along a central ray (27) using a radiation source (19); moving the radiation source (19) relative to an object region (35) so that the central ray (27) is directed onto a radiation detector (31) during the movement; wherein the moving of the radiation source (19) relative to the object region (35) comprises: rotating the radiation source (19) about a first axis of rotation (D1), wherein the radiation source (19) is disposed eccentrically to the first axis of rotation (D1); rotating the radiation source (19) about a second axis of rotation (D2), wherein the first axis of rotation (D1) and the second axis of rotation (D2) together enclose an acute angle (?) amounting to at most 80°.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: RAYSCAN TECHNOLOGIES GMBH
